    BH question about water----

    I read my manual like crazy but nothing about water.

    when I am on vacation at the beach or near a creek------can I submerge this coil a little bit?
    I mean, can I get this thing truly wet? or will I ruin it?
    so scared to put the coil etc. into the surf....just wondering?

    oh ---it is BH LoneStar
    thanks

    It says it is waterproof up to the box. That said, the pole will fill up with water so do not lift the coil up in the air or it will run in the box.

    Re: BH question about water----

    If I may suggest the coils r water proof. I bought a 10 inch coil and a 4 inch coil.. All waterproof.. BUT.. Check the seams on your coils. Some need some silicone or whatever.!

    Good to point that out. I had that problem with my original 7" - screwed it and replace it with a 10"
